Budding authoress

Jordan has recently discovered

a new love.

She set up her own little desk

in a corner of the house

and started writing.

Over the weekend, she spent

several hours at that desk.

Before I knew it, she had written 6

of her own short stories

to give her teacher.

I was so proud of her!

She compiled them into a book.

Here's one of them, which I share with permission,

for your reading enjoyment.

THE PRINCESS GOES TO THE BALL

One day a lovley princess lay on her bed. She was so lovley her mother did not want her to have a prince. One bright sunny day there was a terrible storm that knocked down the castle! The Queen died, the king died, but the princess survived. What should the princess do without her parents! She thought and thought but did not know what to do. So the princess lived her life out on the streets. Until she met a charming prince. So they got merried and they settled into their lives. And one day a terrible thing happened, the prince broke-up with the princess. But the princess did not brake up. She told the prince he could not brake up with her because they had already gotten married so they stayed merried. And they go to the ball and they have a great time exept for the princess.
